shipping information

Nothing is more important to us than your complete satisfaction. That is why we take great care creating our chocolates and hand packing your order. We guarantee that your order will arrive at the peak of freshness and in the best possible condition.

Shipping and Delivery:
Your chocolates are shipped via FedEx. Orders received prior to 2pm PT ship the same business day, after 2pm PT they ship the next available ship day. Orders received after 2pm PT Friday, and anytime Saturday and Sunday, will ship on Monday or the next available ship day. Please see our shipping and delivery schedule (below) to determine the arrival date of your order.

We offer a local delivery option in addition to our standard 2 Day and Overnight shipping options for deliveries to Washington, Oregon, Northern California, and parts of Idaho and Nevada. Please note that from May to September local delivery is only available to Washington, and parts of Oregon and Idaho due to increased temperatures.

Shipping Orders to Warm Climates:
When shipping to warm destinations we use ice packs and mylar for insulation to ensure your chocolate arrives in excellent condition. To limit time in transit and prevent your chocolates from melting, orders only ship over the weekend when temperatures are below 75° F. If temperatures exceed 75° F, orders received Thursday and Friday will be held over the weekend and ship on Monday or the next available shipping day. Please make an effort to notify the recipient that a sweet gift is on its way so the package is not left in warm weather for too long.
